The idea that people are dying on Nauru due to lack of treatment is ‘rubbish’4:47

Sky News host Peta Credlin says the idea that people are dying on Nauru due to lack of medical treatment is ‘rubbish’ and is a ‘vicious smear’ against the government.
She says 'there is no lack’ of medical treatment on Nauru or Manus Island because there are at least 65 health professionals to treat the remaining 427 ‘boat people’.
Ms Credlin says setting up a doctors’ panel with the authority to order asylum seekers to Australia for treatment is ‘a massive softening’ of Australia's border protection regime.
